Carl Farrow's Drag: High-octane music racing with random crashes! Sean Osborn's Graphic Piece: A distillation of previous SIL2K pieces - boiling the graphic ideas down to the basic essentials. Stuart McLeod's Alchemy: There is Alchemy in the transposition of sound blocks fro= m one set of musicians to another. Add two unlike things to get a third. Jame= s Drage's Grideo: Explores the relationship of visual location and motion to music, with the role of a videographer as the conductor of the piece. Brian= Eno's Oblique Strategies: Originally created as a tool for breaking throug= h creative blocks, Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies has been retooled as inspiration for live video and musical improvisation. Carl Farrow's Sign Shop: A complex system of gestures allowing musicians to create new signals= and send messages secretly to team members. The SIL2K Ensemble is a Seattle-based collective dedicated to the research and development of improvisation strategies for music. SIL2K uses a variet= y of instrumentation, including but not limited to traditional acoustic instruments, found-object percussion, turntable manipulation, experimental vocalization and electronic gadgetry. Performances are cross-disciplinary explorations that often incorporate elements of dance, film and poetry. Th= e SIL2K Ensemble has played at EMP, Consolidated Works, Seattle, Portland and= Bellevue Art Museums, at clubs in Seattle and Portland such as I-Spy, OK Hotel, Rainbow and Medicine Hat, on KEXP's Sonarchy Radio, in the Seattle Public Schools, aboard the Kalakala and even in the Metro tunnel. http://www.sil2k.org Spaceboat.TV is a Seattle-based new-media team devoted to the exploration o= f digital culture. Spaceboat.TV specializes in the production of advanced streaming content, and the design of new-style theatrical shows for the digital generation. <http://www.spaceboat.tv/> "I was watching [the audience] watch the screen and they were hypnotized." -DJ Spooky "No one knows what Spaceboat.TV is, not even Spaceboat.TV. People generally= agree however, that whatever it is (some kind of hyper-original multimedia m=E9lange that combines technology and performance, music and video, art an= d craft), it's pretty $%@#'in spectacular, and clearly, must be seen not just= to be believed, but even to be described. Featuring a heavenly host of loca= l talent and more fancy electronic gear than you can even imagine." -Sean Nelson, The Stranger The evening will end with a special performance by transAtlantic iceFloe, that method-core, instrumental rock band formed by members of the SIL2K Ensemble. transAtlantic iceFloe is: Robert Henson - Guitar, Kevin Goldsmit= h - Bass, Stuart McLeod - Drums. transAtlantic iceFloe has been performing regularly in Seattle at venues such as I-Spy, the ReBar, the Sunset Tavern,= The Rainbow, The Sky Church at EMP and at The Capitol Theater in Olympia. transAtlantic iceFloe has been described as "music designed for reprogramming and breaking wills". They have been favorably compared to The= Swans, Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Radiohead. <http://taif.net/> -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Goldsmith kevin@unitcircle.com Unit Circle Media http://www.unitcircle.com ------------------------------------------------------------- New From Unit Circle: Intonarumori - "Material" http://www.unitcircle.com/rekkids/releases/tUC075/ --
